About the book: year / The end of the third millennium. The discovery of Professor Vernigorov allowed earthlings to use the waves of space-time. Superluminal speeds, stellar expeditions, the discovery of new worlds... But people remained the same: some are driven by a thirst for adventure, others by a thirst for profit, others want to experience the impossible - no matter what, no matter at what cost... The heroes of the story have a four-month flight to Procyon Elgomaisa in the constellation Small Dog. And the same amount back. Ten years will pass on earth during this time. The 14 crew members will go through tests that are more psychological than cosmic. And everyone will get what they dreamed of. Only dreams will come true not the way they wanted.
